Of course it would be Dan Abnett. I love that guy.
I don’t see a problem with having people provide ID to vote
I just explained it.
That’s how you make sure they are who they say they are.
No, the current default is voter registration cards.
Basically you go to the election office, or your state's website. Then you fill out everything that proves who you are (current address, SSN, etc), and they give you a registration card to prove you are who you are.
Or you register for a mail in ballot, which is basically the same process, but they just know where you live and therefore where to send your ballot.
This sounds the same, bit the difference is that registration cards are free, and can be done online. Other forms of ID like drivers licenses and passports are not free, require transportation to some office, and take time out of your day during business hours (potentially hours, and potentially requiring time off from work which is an additional barrier).
They are not the same.
Just because other countries do it doesn't make it ok.
Nearly 21 million voting-age U.S. citizens do not have a current (non-expired) driver’s license. Just under 9%, or 20.76 million people, who are U.S. citizens aged 18 or older do not have a non-expired driver’s license. Another 12% (28.6 million) have a non- expired license, but it does not have both their current address and current name. For these individuals, a mismatched address is the largest issue. Ninety-six percent of those with some discrepancy have a license that does not have their current address, 1.5% have their current address but not their current name, and just over 2% do not have their current address or current name on their license. Additionally, just over 1% of adult U.S. citizens do not have any form of government-issued photo identification, which amounts to nearly 2.6 million people.
Millions of Americans across political parties do not have a license. Twenty-three percent of Democrats (23 million people), 16% of Republicans (15.7 million people), and 31% of independents/others (10.5 million people) indicate they do not have a license with their current name and/or address. Nearly 15 million people indicate they do not have a license at all, including 9% of Democrats (8.6 million people), 6% of Republicans (6.2 million people), and 18% of independents/others (5.9 million people).
Black Americans and Hispanic Americans are disproportionately less likely to have a current driver’s license. Over a quarter of Black adult citizens and Hispanic adult citizens do not have a driver’s license with their current name and/or address (28% and 27% respectively), compared to about one out of five adult citizens who identify as Asian/Pacific Islander (21%) or White (18%). Eighteen percent of Black adult citizens, 15% of Hispanic adult citizens, and 13% of Asian/Pacific Islander adult citizens do not have a license at all, compared to just 5% of White adult citizens.
Democrats and independents/others are more likely to face these potential voting difficulties than Republicans. Eighteen percent of Democrats and 17% of those who are independent or not affiliated with one of the two major parties either lack an ID or have a form of ID that may cause voting difficulties, while only 11% of Republicans do.
TL;DR: If you want to swing elections to the GOP, an easy way to do that is to disenfranchise the voters who are more likely to vote democrat, which means disenfranchising younger and POC voters. An easy way to do that is to place additional monetary, logistical, and time barriers to entry to vote.
Pretty fucking much. I've been arguing with her about (I know it's a waste of time but here I am).
Her evidence:
- Some dude from the water company 10 years ago said her bills were high because of immigrants
- Some right wing fuckwad posted a video on rumble interviewing who the fuck knows who, in NYC (we don't live in NYC), saying that the government was paying for them to have hotels and food
Mine:
- 9 fucking audits of the water company's spending
- a report from the auditor general of the state examining the neglect of the water system
But hey, "we each get to have our own conclusion" so fuck me I guess.
My mom's been bitching about how she can't pay for her water bill because of immigrants. Meanwhile the city is just trying to play catch up on infrastructure that's been neglected for decades.
Her bill isn't going to get any cheaper, but hey, at least everyone gets to fear for their lives now.
You're avoiding the point.
They're a part of our corrupt and unrepresentative electoral system. They don't need to be the government for them to fuck up our democracy.
I looked it up, and the other pictures on that site show the woman's face in it's entirety up close. It definitely isn't Nicole.
I just got the same shit. And I'm guessing the previous two DMs were also the same. I didn't realize that the links were to something other than my profile.
It looks like they're now posting the 1st gore image directly to communities everywhere.
🎵 Kier, chosen one, Kier.
Kier, brilliant one, Kier.
Brings the bounty to the plain through the torment, through the rains,
Progress, knowledge show no fear,
Kier, chosen one, Kier. 🎵
Let's not sully the planet with him being the first one there. Let's send him to the sun.
It's waaaay more fuel, but worth it.
Horrifying.
What makes it even more horrifying is that they might vote.
Fellas is it gay to have sex with women?
They're rare but unfortunately growing.
The end of Nicole
I've had some similar weird stuff going on.
I got two DMs, both immediately after interacting with this community. The first I ignored, this is the second:
Also from a 2 year old account with no history.
The first one disappeared, and I don't recall what it said.
Edit: 5 minutes later they've been banned
The end of Nicole
I haven't seen it, and the vibe I get is that your right.
I think there is a strong chance this might be a different spammer, just looking to fuck around.
But regardless it is still incredibly fucked up for them to be spreading an image like that even if isn't the real Nicole.
I agree. I don't think this place was ever in good taste because it allowed pictures of her. Now it's worse.
At a minimum I think posts that include pictures of her should be banned.
